any thought of bringing the guy back would have to be well vetted with the current leadership group. Brouwer and Monahan wouldn't have an opinion but Giordano certainly would.
that could really mess things up on a team that seems to have players all pulling on the same rope.

See, and this is my thinking as well.
I know the return for Iginla was less than stellar, but the concept of moving him was addition by subtraction.
Nothing against Iginla the player, or the leader or the person, but as I've stated a number of times, he became bigger than the team, almost bigger than the club and other people (Giordano) werent engaging to their capacity because it was 'Iggy's team.'
So yeah, there would have to be dressing room concerns.
Further, I dont begrudge anyone their fantasy of bringing him back for a Playoff run, who wouldnt love to see that?
And as a Wild Card I think 'Regular Season Iginla' and 'Playoffs Iginla' are two entirely different beasts.
